Hi HN, I’m Jian, one of the engineers on this.

MiniMax-H3 is an open model that generates video and audio together, but its transformer is ~31B parameters and sampling takes a long trajectory, so it’s slow and heavy to run locally. HyperFlow H3 Flash is our compressed version.

What we changed:

Pruning + low-rank factorization: dropped 3 of 50 blocks and factored 102 linear layers, down to 13.7B params. Two-time (t, r) conditioning: each step knows both the current noise level and where it should land, so it samples in 4–8 steps without CFG. W8A8 INT8 with a Hadamard rotation on 180 linear layers.

End-to-end numbers for a 5.2 s clip at 1344×768, 6 steps: 8.7 s on 4× B200, 36 s on 1× H200, 92 s on an RTX 5090, 266 s on an RTX 3090. The Q4_K_M GGUF is 9.1 GB and runs in ComfyUI on 24 GB cards. 16 GB GPUs aren’t measured yet.

To be clear about “real time”: our package does 8.7 s for a 5.2 s clip on 4× B200. Real-time playback speed uses NVIDIA’s SOL-H3 runtime, which supports the model from day 0.

Happy to answer questions about the compression or the numbers.
